I picked up a 94 Firebird with the 5.7 LT1...It had an upper engine fire. I'm wanting to make a drag car out of it. My questions are:

What are the main issues to look for when taking off all the computer controls, fuel injection, etc and just running a regular manifold and carb set up? Would the ignition still work with the key or would I by pass that with a push button?

Does the 4L60E tranny have a separate computer that controls it or is it the same computer that runs the engine/fuel injection, etc.

Thanks Matt...that's what my question was, was if the tranny needed its own computer. I've been drag racing off and on for over ten years so I'm not new to the rules and all that. My question was specifically to this car, what needs to be done to take the computer and fuel injection out.
